The children in Reception have been learning about the different culture and way of life in a Kenyan village, as part of our Global Theme, ‘Identity and Diversity’. We read the story, ‘Handa’s Surprise’ and looked at how Handa’s life is different to that of our children. Look at how the children have made African inspired jewellery and masks. Tylie has used clay to maker her mask and has decorated it. We also looked at how Kenyan people weave baskets and their own fabric and have enjoyed our weaving area in class.
